At ~ 5:51 AM, Westmoreland 911 dispatched Station 20 (Murrysville VFC) for an Automatic Fire Alarm (AFA) at Redstone Highlands-Murrysville on Cline Hollow Road. Station 20 responded with Squad 20 (Assistant Chief 20) and Truck 20 (5 firefighters), with 1 firefighter manning the station.

Squad 20 was the first unit on scene, with Assistant Chief 20 establishing the command, and no fire or smoke was observed coming from the structure. Squad 22 and Engine 64 arrived on scene, and upon entry of the structure it was found that the sprinkler system had malfunctioned due to the failure of its air compressor. Command 20 returned all units as no fire/rescue services were needed, and turned the scene over to the facility maintenance department. Truck 20 and Squad 20 returned to station and service.
